You can change whether individual articulations of duration are placed inside or outside slur endpoints, independently of your project-wide setting. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
Note

These steps only apply to articulations of duration. They do not apply to articulations of force or stress.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the notes/chords whose articulation placement you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Inside slur endpoint in the Articulations group.
  3. Activate/Deactivate the corresponding checkbox.

Result

Articulations of duration are placed inside slur endpoints when the checkbox is activated, and outside slur endpoints when the checkbox is deactivated. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

When the property is deactivated, articulations follow your project-wide setting for the placement of articulations of duration relative to slur endpoints.

Tip

You can change the default placement of all articulations relative to slur endpoints project-wide in Engraving Options > Articulations > Slurs.
